Quilt Show

(please click photo to enlarge)

Amazing pity,

grace unknown 

and 

love beyond degree! 

Words from a song you may recognize,

come to mind when I look at these little 

quilts. 

They are being made for Haitians

who to this day are still sleeping 

directly on the ground 

because of that earthquake. 

Not typical of us

"haves" to think

of putting our handmade quilts

on the ground to get dirty.

This group of women that I've 

discovered, has been to Haiti

and is so connected to the

pain there...

 want to make these gifts of 

love to provide whatever

comfort they can. 

We fret if we don't change our

sheets every Monday...forgetting

some have never had a sheet or a bed

in their life.

 

I listened to these ladies even planning 

to pass their skills on to younger ladies and 

girls which is so awesome. 

Do you love to be around givers? 

Do you feel empowered by them? 

Does stardom, success, Hollywood, 

being a big loser even...seem so

irrelevant to you? 

It does me. 

Do you remember sleeping under 

quilts as a child and studying the

designs and blocks? 

I do! 

It is fun thinking about the little ones

and their mamas, who will enjoy 

looking at and feeling of these 

quilts. I hope they understand 

the love that is sent via the quilts.

Could you gather unwanted fabrics or unfinished

quilts from people? 

Gather some sewing friends one day a week?

One of you cut, one piece, one "sandwich"

the fabric with batting...one quilt on the 

machine? 

One provide lunch? 

Many ways to give, provide, serve.

Not to mention a fun get-together :)

Aren't they pretty?! 

Hope you enjoyed the quilt show.

You may see more as they get finished :)
